This is the one you pick when the goal is dinner plus a real Denver view. Feels more like a proper occasion than a random rooftop stop.

El Five is a strong addition because it gives RVFTO a rooftop restaurant with real destination status. The food matters, the room matters, and the skyline angle is doing serious work.
